Platypus QuickDraw Ultralight 2L Backpacking Water Filter System

Lightweight filtration for trail-ready hydration

Meet the Platypus QuickDraw Ultralight 2L Backpacking Water Filter System — a streamlined, two-piece setup designed for hikers who value simplicity, speed, and a compact footprint on every trek. Weighing just 5.7 oz, the full system collapses to a pocket-friendly size and offers an easy-fill reservoir with a wide mouth and a comfortable handle for quick access at any water source. The 2L QuickDraw Reservoir uses a tri-layer film to minimize taste transfer and deliver durable performance, helping you stay hydrated on long days, river crossings, or camp mornings without fuss.

Fast, flexible filtration you can count on

The heart of the system is a hollow fiber microfilter that can deliver up to 3 liters of filtered water per minute when squeezed, or about 1.75 liters per minute in gravity mode. The filter is independently tested to meet NSF & EPA P231 protocols, removing 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa. The ergonomic, grippy housing reduces friction when filtering in wet or dirty conditions, so you spend less time fiddling and more time moving.

• Two easy cleaning methods — shake-to-clean and tool-free backflushing — help restore flow without tools when debris slows filtration.
• ConnectCap plus included hose enables quick filling of any CPC-compatible reservoir or direct attachment to 28mm bottles, including Platypus Big Zip Evo, HydraPak reservoirs, and common bottles.

Versatility and field-ready details

Designed for flexibility, the QuickDraw 2L system works with water reservoirs, bottles, or even direct sipping from the filter. The included components thread neatly onto a range of containers, making it a versatile choice for multi-bottle setups or hydration systems on the move. A compact, ultralight profile and USA-made construction with a limited lifetime warranty add to its appeal for serious backcountry users.

• Wide mouth and handle facilitate filling at streams, lakes, or dirty bags, while the slim filter housing remains grippy without sticking to gear.
• Made in the USA with a durable build and a compact pack size (7.4 x 3 x 2.8 in) that fits in most packs.

Whether you’re summiting a peak, thru-hiking long distances, or tackling weekend missions, the Platypus QuickDraw Ultralight 2L offers a practical filtration solution that emphasizes lightweight efficiency, dependable flow, and straightforward cleaning options. It’s a thoughtful option designed to support your hydration routines on the trail, without promising guaranteed results.
